Gatekeeper Program

You can make a difference by opening the gates to health and social services for a vulnerable senior or adult with a disability in your community.

Oregon Cascades West Council of Governments-Senior & Disability Services-sponsors the Gatekeeper Program. Gatekeepers are trained to recognize warning signs in seniors and adults with disabilities who are at risk and help connect them to services that can help them stay independent, healthy and safe. Anyone can be a Gatekeeper! This program is an initiative of the Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) serving Linn, Benton, and Lincoln counties.
